French, 1833 - 1914
Félix Henri Bracquemond (French pronunciation: [feliks ɑ̃ʁi bʁakmɔ̃]; 22 May 1833 – 29 October 1914) was a French painter, etcher, and printmaker. He played a key role in the revival of printmaking, encouraging artists such as Édouard Manet, Edgar Degas and Camille Pissarro to use this technique. Unusually for a prominent artist of this period, he also designed pottery for a number of French factories, in an innovative style that marks the beginning of Japonisme in France. He was the husband of the Impressionist painter Marie Bracquemond.

Sablin's stated aim was to seize control of the ship, sail it from Riga to Leningrad, and broadcast a nationwide address protesting the widespread corruption and stagnation of the Brezhnev era, calling for a return to Leninist principles and a new communist revolution. The mutiny was suppressed by Soviet naval and air forces while the ship was still en route. Sablin was arrested, court-martialed, and convicted of high treason. He was executed by firing squad in August 1976. His second-in-command, Seaman Alexander Shein, was sentenced to eight years in prison. The incident remained largely classified and suppressed by the Soviet government until the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The story became known in the West, albeit often inaccurately, and served as the inspiration for Tom Clancy's 1984 novel The Hunt for Red October.
